Magic Steven is a Melbourne-based performer whose work is best described as dead-pan not-comedy. Long-form beat poetry, autobiographical storytelling and a one-sided conversation with Magic Steven are also not incorrect descriptors.

He has performed as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Fringe Festival in Melbourne, and recently at Dark Mofo in Tasmania.

“This deadpan, under-the-radar comedy of storytelling ascends to a superlative estimation of the conditions of human connection.” Peril Magazine
